SUMMARY:An arithmetic count of rational plane curves
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kirsten Wickelgren\, Duke University\n\nThere is a unique line through 2 points in the plane, and a unique conic through 5. These counts generalize to a count of degree d rational curves in the plane passing through 3d-1 points. Surprisingly, the problem of determining these numbers turns out to be deep and connected to string theory, and …
